Why Do We Love to See San Francisco in Movies?

If I see San Francisco in a movie, I think, hey! There’s San Francisco! If it’s an old movie, all the better. But when I lived in New York, I was never excited about or particularly interested in seeing New York in a movie.

So we end the year on a question: What is it about San Francisco that makes us (I say us, because it’s not just me) always glad and interested to see it on screen?
